What is Uridine?

Uridine, white needle-like crystals or powder. Odorless, slightly sweet and slightly spicy. Is a kind of nucleosides. Soluble in water, slightly soluble in dilute alcohol, insoluble in absolute ethanol. This product can be used for giant red blood cell anemia, and can also be used in combination with other nucleosides and bases to treat liver, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases ^[1] .
